by Still good food
Favorite
When I was young, ginger was a snack. Grandma and mother made ginger the most. Until now, if we have a banquet, we still use ginger to make cold dishes. It can be seen that ginger has taken root in our place. Now is the time when ginger is on the market, I won't let go of such a good opportunity. If you don’t eat it, you’ll regret it, saying that you eat radish in winter and ginger in summer. Before going out to buy groceries in the morning, it was just right to marinate them and eat them back. Of course, it would be more delicious in the refrigerator.

3 health benefits of eating ginger in the morning
The folk saying goes: Eating ginger in the morning is better than eating ginseng soup; eating ginger at night is equivalent to eating arsenic. Why? The reason why ginger should not be consumed at night is because ginger contains gingerol, which can stimulate intestinal peristalsis. It can enhance the effect of the spleen and stomach during the day, and at night it becomes a major problem that affects sleep damage and intestines, so it is not suitable for consumption at night.
As early as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius, the first teacher, had realized that eating ginger could fight aging. In his later years, he often said "every food must be ginger", "no sprinkle of ginger, no more food." It means that ginger is not eaten all year round, but it is not suitable to eat more every time. In the era of war, displacement, and low average life expectancy, Confucius's ability to live to 73 years old is not unrelated to the importance of eating ginger.
Since the Spring Festival last year, the author insisted on containing ginger every morning, never stopped, and also brought ginger when traveling.
One is not to catch a cold
Since containing ginger, I have never had a cold, and occasionally I have some signs of a cold. Drinking a packet of "Xiao Chaihu Granules" is fine, and it has cured my worst cold in the past.
Second, healed bile duct stones
During my physical examination on August 6 last year, B-ultrasound found a bile duct stone of 0.8×0.2 cm in the left lobe of the liver. I have never taken any medicine to treat gallstones, but insisted on containing ginger every morning. When I had a physical examination on August 7 this year, There is no abnormality in the gallbladder. According to Mr. Wang, ginger in the morning can cure gallstones and kidney stones.
The third is to do a "two-and-a-half" examination of liver function, all of which are negative
I did a "two-and-a-half" test for five consecutive years from 1998 to 2002, and two of them were positive, that is, the fourth e-antibody (anti-HBE) and the fifth core antibody (anti-HBC) were both positive, but It does not belong to the big and small three yang. During the physical examination this year, hepatitis B virus and the "two and a half" tests were all negative. Instead, he had to be injected with hepatitis B vaccine.
The method of containing ginger is: scrape the ginger skin (the skin of ginger is cool), cut four or five slices of ginger every day (cut as thin as thick paper, cut too thick, very spicy), and put them in a bowl. Wake up every morning, drink a cup of boiling water, then rinse with boiling water into a bowl containing ginger slices for disinfection, then put the ginger slices in your mouth and chew slowly for 10-30 minutes, bite the ginger slices, and let the ginger grow. The smell, which is emitted in the mouth, spreads to the stomach and nostrils. "
